Pellegrini vetoes two laws over riders, nominee Lorinc to take over leadership of the army
President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini will on Monday return to the National Council of the SR for reconsideration two laws that lawmakers passed during the 49th parliamentary session. The president rejected the bills because of impermissible legislative riders that are unrelated to the main content of the laws and concern investments and products. Pellegrini criticized the quality of the legislative process in parliament and described the riders as unacceptable. He also visited Croatia, where he took part in the Three Seas Initiative summit in Dubrovnik. ta3.com ↗
The Government of the Slovak Republic approved the nomination of Miroslav Lorinc for the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the SR. Lorinc served as deputy chief of the general staff and will take over the army at a time of intensive strengthening of its defense readiness. The change in the army's leadership follows the launch of the Table Top Exercise, which tests the Slovak Republic's ability to respond to military threats and in which members of parliament are also taking part. Novy Cas ↗
The Slovak armed forces have also recently tested their ability to cooperate with allies. During the international exercise Federated Cloud 2026 in the Czech Republic, Slovak airmen verified whether F-16 aircraft can operate in real conditions alongside their allies. The test showed that communication between the Slovak air force and its allies functions correctly and that the army will hold its own in defense. Novy Cas ↗
The President's Office also labeled as untrue the claims of MP Ján Ferenčák, who alleged that Pellegrini meets with representatives of the Hlas-SD party and remains active within it. According to the Office, these statements are false. The police have not yet contacted the president in connection with suspicions of illegal financing of his presidential campaign. Pellegrini expects the coalition's condition to worsen ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections. STVR (Spravy) ↗
